There are folks saying they felt a quake here, but my building would withstand the a-bomb so I did not deel a thing. My old building however would sway when we would have minor quakes and windstorms. Being on the 19th floor there was no fun on those days. Otherwise it was great I could see from Lake Erie to Lake St. Clair. I could see the spires of the parishes where my parents and grandparents went to school from my desk. I loved my West Side view.

We felt it here in the Southern Tier of NY. The buildings on our campus are all built on slabs, and I was in a meeting in a first floor interior conference room. We felt the ground moving and heard the suspended ceiling creaking, so if we had had hanging lights, I'm sure they would have been swaying. There seemed to be two separate shock waves which seemed to last longer than the shock wave from the Montreal earthquake last year.

We evacuated our unit (all five of us) for a bit but there wasn't an official evacuation, but most of the campus did not. Jamestown City Hall was evacuated for 40 minutes while city engineers checked the building for structural damage.

I was at a DOT training session on PROWAG, but didn't feel it. My daughter said she felt it and the folks in my office definitely felt the building move.

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.Abraham Lincoln
